Riedel Ouverture Red Wine Glasses, Set of 4
Perfect for everyday use, the four red-wine glasses in this set are part of the moderately priced Ouverture series offered by world-renowned Austrian wineglass maker Riedel Crystal (founded in 1756). Being lead-free, they're not crystal like Riedel's premium glasses but are machine blown of potash glass and are dishwasher-safe. Their thin rims are cut and polished to Riedel's exacting standards, so wine flows easily onto the tongue. Each glass holds 12-3/8 ounces and stands 7-3/8 inches high. Though glasses shaped and sized for different types of wine seem commonplace today, when Riedel introduced this idea in 1961, it was revolutionary. Since then Riedel has continued fine-tuning glasses to bring out the best characteristics in wines and spirits. Varying bowls' shapes and sizes affects the position of the head when sipping and where wine first contacts the tongue's various taste zones. --Fred Brack

    Riedel Ouverture Red Wine Glasses, Set of 4 For me these are the perfect size of glass. Although they are made for Red Wine I use them for White as well. They are very good quality and pretty sturdy. I have had the more expensive Riedel glasses and they are wonderful but very fine and tend to break more easily. By the way it is pronounce Ree-dull, not Rydel like the high-school in Grease. Enjoy!

    These aren't the most elegant wine glasses in the world but they are attractive enough to put on all but the fanciest tables. The pricing is fair and not a level that you would avoid using them because of concerns about breaking one. The bottom line is that they represent a good value and they also do justice to your wine.

    While the items arrived in a timely manner, there was absolutely no packaging in the box to protect the wine glasses. Unfortunately, there were broken glasses. I returned them indicating what had happened in transit and they sent out a new set- with no packaging. Once again we had broken glasses. Did someone actually think four sets of wine glasses would survive a cross-country trip on a truck with no wrapping or packaging?
